About this experience
The Lucerne–Interlaken Express connects two of Switzerland's most popular destinations with a journey that is every bit as enjoyable as the places at either end. Travelling through the heart of the country, the route offers a changing landscape of lakes, mountains, forests, and traditional Swiss villages.
Starting in Lucerne, the train leaves the lakeside city behind and heads into the countryside of Central Switzerland. Along the way, passengers pass peaceful villages, rolling green hills, and beautiful lakes that reflect the surrounding mountain scenery. Large panoramic windows make it easy to enjoy the views throughout the journey.
One of the highlights of the route is the crossing of the Brünig Pass, where the train climbs into the mountains using a cogwheel railway system. As the elevation increases, the scenery becomes even more dramatic. Forested slopes, deep valleys, and distant Alpine peaks create a landscape that feels distinctly Swiss.
The route is also known for its beautiful lakes and waterfalls. Near Brienz, travellers are treated to views of the striking turquoise waters of Lake Brienz, one of the most beautiful lakes in Switzerland. Waterfalls tumble down the mountainsides, while traditional wooden chalets and small villages add to the charm of the journey.
As the train approaches Interlaken, the scenery opens up to reveal the famous mountain backdrop of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. Nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, Interlaken is one of Switzerland's best-known destinations and an ideal gateway to the Bernese Oberland region.
Unlike some panoramic trains that require a full day of travel, the Lucerne–Interlaken Express delivers an impressive variety of scenery in under two hours. It is a comfortable and relaxing way to move between two major destinations while experiencing some of the country's most beautiful landscapes along the way.
Whether you're visiting Lucerne, exploring Interlaken, or continuing your Swiss rail adventure, the Lucerne–Interlaken Express Pass offers a memorable journey through the heart of Switzerland.
